WHAT IS EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY?

Exercise physiology is the scientific study of the body and how it works. In Australia exercise physiology is overseen by a professional organisation called the Exercise and Sport Science Australia (ESSA). 

​According to ESSA, Accredited Exercise Physiologists are university qualified health professionals with specialist skills, knowledge and proficiency to create, deliver and assess a safe and effective exercise plan for people with chronic health conditions, disabilities or injuries. 

Accredited exercise physiologists are trained to help prevent and manage a wide range of health issues. These include the following conditions:

  • Musculoskeletal

  • Cardiovascular

  • Neurological

  • Metabolic

  • Diabetes

  • Respiratory

  • Pulmonary

  • Cancer

  • Mental Health

Exercise physiologists utilise their knowledge to prescribe personalised exercise programs for:

  • rehabilitation after an injury or surgery

  • relief from pain and discomfort

  • management and prevention of chronic health conditions

  • falls prevention

  • lifestyle assistance

  • increased independence for seniors and people with disabilities
